School reimagines education's future

Beaconhouse marked its golden jubilee on its 50th anniversary with "Rethinking Education: 50th Anniversary Edition" — a landmark gathering of leaders, educators and policymakers from Pakistan and around the world.

Held at the Jinnah Convention Centre in Islamabad, the event celebrated fifty years of educational excellence while inviting reflection on the future of learning in a rapidly changing world. The event was attended by ministers, diplomats, academics, industry leaders as well as members of the Beaconhouse community.

The Acting President, Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, expressed his appreciation for the fact that from its humble beginnings in 1975 with just 19 children, Beaconhouse has grown into one of largest school systems in the world, educating nearly 400,000 students across six countries. This, he said, was a remarkable story of vision, perseverance, and national contribution.

He further acknowledged that Beaconhouse has made quality education accessible to all sections of society through Beaconhouse School System (BSS), The Educators, United Charter Schools and the not-for-profit Beaconhouse National University. Additionally, he praised the role of the Mahmud Ali Kasuri Welfare Trust, through which Beaconhouse has consistently supported community uplift and responded with compassionate action during natural disasters and humanitarian crises.
